With the recent discussions on the libraries mailing list about the API of Bryan O'Sullivan's text library, and the fact that I'm looking at using it soon for the first time, are there any recommended best practices or tips & tricks people have come up with? For starters, I'm considering writing a polyparse [1] instance for Text. However, even with the current Bytestring instances for polyparse there seems to be an emphasis on character-based parsing. Is that the correct way of doing things? For example, what would be the best way to try to parse a text value when you don't care about case? At the moment, with my String-based parser, I'm doing repeated comparisons on Char values [2,3].
